We walked to the park today as a family. It's a large park full of what will someday be green grass. They have a couple of benches and one picnic table. They also have a very small playscape. It only has one set of stairs and two slides, one is shorter than the other.
Mackenzie held my hand to climb the stiars to the top the first time. She refused either slide and walked back down the stairs. When she decided it was time to try again she asked her daddy to go with her. When they got to the top she turned around and started down the stairs once more.... She never did go down the slide....
William sat with me on a blanket in the sand, but he looked bored so I put him directly on the sand and he loved it! He played with it, grabbing a handful and emptying into his other hand, then letting it drop onto his legs. He kept smiling and laughing the whole time.
When it was time to leave Z said she didn't want to go home. I told her that was okay because we weren't going home since Nate and I had decided to take the long way home and walk the full length of the park. Z decided since she wasn't going straight home she would like to go with us afterall. She donned her red "Canada" hat and pushed Will in the stroller.
This sure made the trip home long.
So, Nate and I started saying "ready, set, go" and then lifting her off the ground and swinging her. She LOVED it.
We did this the rest of the way home.
